In Brno and in the South Moravian Region as a whole, there is currently a significantly wider range of modern industrial space available for rent than in previous years - from completed halls ready for immediate occupation to the possibility of tailor-made construction according to the tenant's needs. This allows companies to better respond to their current needs and growth plans.
At the same time, Brno has long maintained its position as one of the most desirable industrial regions in the Czech Republic due to its abundance of skilled labour and its strategic location. Brno is a university city with an emphasis on technical disciplines, which ensures a steady supply of talent in the areas of logistics, engineering or IT. In addition to value-added operations - manufacturing companies, development centres - Brno is also suitable for logistics and distribution companies due to its excellent connection to the main transport routes towards Prague, Ostrava and neighbouring countries.
